         as edelgard began to settle into this new life (though it was done slowly and carefully), she became comfortable with her surroundings, enough so that she went about her daily activities with patience and composure. whereas she’d been focused on gaining knowledge and understanding mere weeks before, she was less fervent about searching the libraries for information, taking more time out of her day to relax and enjoy what frivolities she could. no doubt she’d find out why she was here in time—and it was just as important to reduce her own stress as it was to discover her purpose here. 

          as she strolled through terra, she again encountered a woman she’d met only days prior—olivia, a dancer of another world—who knelt on the ground before a variety of vibrant blooms, tending to them with care and undivided attention. while edelgard longed to return to the gardens in enbarr, she did appreciate the beauty regardless of the location. 

          “ah, i’m pleased to see you again, olivia. you have an interest in gardening as well?” the dancer looked as though she belonged among the flowers, the soft pink shade of her hair complemented by their blooms. “i don’t wish to impose, but do you mind if i join you?”

     While her own assigned apartment was cozy enough, with its various plants and sightly color scheme, it simply wouldn’t do for Camilla to remain cooped up within its walls for long. There was a world out there to explore — one she’d never experienced — and she was a determined sort of woman who wouldn’t let any fear of the unknown stop her from leaving the confines of her bedroom. 

      She was cautious as she navigated the building and made her way outside, but her efforts bore fruit immediately when the lobby poured out into a gorgeous garden. Camilla had always longed for something similar in Nohr — but her country had been far too cold and far too poor for such a thing to be truly plausible long-term. It had been but a little dream: a life of comfort and relaxation with no need to wage war. Could such a thing be possible here? 

    As she walked along the decorated path, she admired the various plants and arrangements of flowers. And it wasn’t long before she encountered a stranger — something she knew would happen quite quickly in a brand new realm — but the other woman’s nervous stature was cause for concern. She must have been a new arrival as well, judging by the unease with which she held herself, though she still looked at home among the flowers with her pink curls. Being such a compassionate woman, it was only natural for Camilla to attempt to comfort her.

     “Are you quite alright, darling?” She placed a hand gently on her shoulder as she spoke, attempting to gain her attention without frightening her. “You must be new here as well. If you’d like, we can take a look around. Brave this strange new storm together, hm?”

       ❝ well... things are definitely going ! ❞ an awkward laugh escapes the forced grin the teen offers her grandmother, an arm raising to wipe the sweat off her brow. the hilt of her practice sword is gripped tighter, her body turning away as if to mask the turmoil she still feels inside ( it bubbles within her, ebbing and flowing for seconds at a time before they rage like a storm, the brightness to soleil’s mauve irises dimming ever so slightly ). ❝ it’s... a lot easier to breathe here than it was back h — ❞ she falters on the word ‘home,’ words cutting abruptly before she shakes her head, knowing they can’t return, knowing she doesn’t want to return ( not ever ? not yet ? ). 

    she licks her lips, relishing in the cold that meets her newly wet skin. it’s a different cold than in the darkened kingdom. it feels fresh, in a strange foreign sense, and it’s in this way that she’s so easily reminded of how regna ferox will never be the lands of her birth. ❝ ... back in nohr. ❞ // @airabesque​​

     she   knows the song of dandelions ripe amongst the winds,  dancing aloft tender breezes as if their merriment could be heard by all.  it is in this amaranthine bliss does she find amusement,  a harmony tucked between all things.  life flows throughout her body,  beginning as small sparks until they flourish into buds.  her gardens are ripe and her heart is open  ;  thus the she - wolf skips along the river - bank without regret.  

      all too soon does someone catch her eyes.  an all too familiar scent sits at the edge of her snout.  it is welcoming and it is known,  a comfortable aroma befitting fairness and beauty.  the white - wolf’s amble steps cease.  curiosity overwhelms her by the way of her finely tipped tail and tilt of her head.

@airabesque​ ( starter call! )

While a composing book wasn’t what she was expecting to be given, it was definitely helpful for the fact that she wouldn’t have to go out of her way to buy one later. The only thing that was really annoying was the fact that she had no piano to test out anything she’d compose on. Thankfully, she had gotten quite used to the sound of the notes, so she could easily determine if her compositions sounded good, but... not being able to play them or hear them properly definitely made her fingers twitch out of compulsion to play something.

Kaede never liked being away from the piano for too long, it was like her child.

So she had taken the time to sit down on a bench, body hunched over as the book rested on her lap. It had been easy to find a pencil laying around her assigned apartment, but she didn’t want to stay inside. There was no reason for her to do so, and she might be able to find inspiration outside. Fingers kept on swinging the pencil back and forth as it balanced between two of them, occasionally resting against her lips as she tried her hardest to think of something...

It could be used for doodling too, however... so, she decided to start doodling her surroundings on the first page, see if that could give her anything to go off. Her eyes kept on gazing up now and again to get a good enough glimpse at whatever she wanted to draw next. It could definitely be misinterpreted that she was staring at someone, however, as her eyes did tend to gaze for a bit longer than a normal person would.

In actuality, she was just trying to remember as much as possible. And whenever she focused on something, she tended to block out anything else that didn’t seem important. Including people. If someone were to stare back at her, it would definitely look a bit unnerving to see the concentration in her eyes.

         “Oh Lady Camilla…” Olivia’s voice was quiet as a mouse, as she peered at the gift that Camilla had presented her with. She had not expected anything at all, finding herself quite content just to be graced with Camilla’s presence, but the gift was a welcome surprise. Her cheeks had flushed pink, and for a moment she thought to decline, before remembering that Camilla was someone who would put care and thought into her gifts. She would not gift something to Olivia had she not wanted to, and to deny the gift would be more of a slight or insult than to happily accept.

     She ran a finger gingerly over one of the earrings, admired the way the shone in the light. “They’re so beautiful. Thank you, Camilla, I love them. Would… you help me put them in?”

          “Of course, darling. I’d love to help you put them in.” She turned the box back towards herself, removing both earrings to place them gently within Olivia’s pierced ears, taking care not to prod or poke at her skin. They looked just as beautiful as she’d imagined, if not more, dangling beside Olivia’s face and within her pink curls. Camilla smiled warmly at the thought that Olivia truly loved her gift.

          “There you go. Ah, they’re just adorable.” Pulling out a small compact mirror she carried on her person, Camilla turned it towards the other woman, allowing her to gaze at her own reflection. “They suit your complexion so well, don’t you agree?”

       ❝ you can sing nicely, you’re a perfect dancer, and you’re pretty! not only that, you’re super nice too... gee olivia, you’re really the full package, aren’t you? ❞ naturally, there is but a mere tinge of jealousy in her praise, but overall her words are meant only to be that: praise. she rests her elbows upon the table, chin atop the bridge she creates with her interlaced fingers, a sigh leaving her. “you’re probably good at sewing and cooking and all that stuff too, huh? you’re gonna make such a good wife, you know?”

     Flower basket in hand and smile on her face, Sumia approached her friend with warmth. She’d been in the city long enough for it to become normal, her thoughts now involved with making life the best it could be rather than with hopes of an escape she couldn’t influence. To spread this positive attitude, she planned to plant flowers where gardens had been destroyed (or hadn’t ever existed) throughout the city. Though it was likely they’d be ravaged in no time, it was a comforting hobby that she knew would brighten the daily lives of the city’s residents, if only for a little while.

     “Olivia! I hope you’re ready for the day,” Sumia said, holding out the basket of tools and flower pots. “I thought we’d start in Sector 4, considering all of the shops and vending areas that could use some brightening up.”  If they were going to be trapped here indefinitely, their likelihood of returning home looking more grim by the day, Sumia figured she should introduce some color into the glum lives of everyone else held captive.  Gloves, aprons, hats to guard them from the sun, already-budded flowers, and other various tools lined the inside of her basket. “I’m open to suggestions, of course! I have everything we need, so we should get a lot out of this day.”

airabesque replied to your post: i rly want to write chrom who recklessly proposes...

I MEAN HONESTLY despite their cute supports, that kind of feels like a good basis for a realistic thing w/ olivia lbr

absolutely imo!!!! or just any instance in which chrom isn’t married to somebody before that particular chapter he auto-marries whoever has the closest support with him ( or village maiden for that matter lmao ) but seeing as my bias for chrom is w/ olivia ( bc i love their whirlwind romance haha ) i definitely think that’s kind of how it’d go down w/ olivia and i almost feel bad for her because chrom really isn’t in a good mental state at the time despite the fact that he tries so hard to be perfect but it’s more of a front than anything as opposed to just letting himself be who he wants to be
